Chansey

Overview
-with eviolite it gets a boost in both defenses, making it pretty dam physically bulky, and the best special wall in the game
-with higher defense it can beat Blissey as a mixed wall and take things like superpowers from Tornadus-T and Hydregion without much issue
-still an amazing special wall that few special attackers can break through
-natural cure makes easy status healing
-without leftovers, very weak to passive damage
-with no special attack its forced to use toxic and seismic toss, making it set up bait for a lot of stuff

-special wall to take hits, heal up, and kill them with toxic and / or seismic toss
-toxic and seismic toss are a must if you plan to do anything to anyone
-softboiled to heal
-can support with last slot to help out
-stealth rock is easy to set up because of her bulk
-wish can heal team mates or aromatherapy to get rid of status

-evs make sure that Chansey can take 2 superpowers from Hydregion after rocks without much issue, and not being 2HKOed by specs Latios psyshock
-one can got for bold and have more defense if you wish, but it really doesn't need it, and wants special bulk more
-if using wish, protect can be used over softboiled to toxic stall more effectively but not suggested as it leaves Chansey much weaker to burns and weather
-Chansey may need help solving its special issues: Keldeo, Latias, Latios, Gengar, and Reunicles
-such pokemon for this can be Jirachi, Amoonguss, Celebi, and Latias
-also, its terribly weak to fighting attacks, so slowbro, Amoonguss, Celebi, and Gliscor can help out
-prefers rapid spin support as it is weak to entry hazards

Other Options:
-thunderwave can be used over toxic, but it leaves you much weaker to Volcarona, can work though on more offensive teams that use Chansey as a pivot
-heal bell is an option to use with wish, but otherwise aromatherapy is always better, but using it and wish requires ditching toxic or siesmic toss, not advisable, or wish all by itself, which again is not a good idea
-counter can trick a lot of people, but sacrifices a lot of utility
-gravity for kicks
-screens for idk offense

Checks and Counters
-Gliscor and calm mind Reunicles make perfect counters being immune to pretty much everything
-any steel type (Jirachi, Metagross, ect) outside Magnezone
-Lucario can come it without much issue
-lum berry dragonite
-conkeldurr likes being poisoned
-any fighting type forces it out
-sand or hail can seriously hurt it
-Jellicent, sableye, mew, and whimsicott can troll to death if it has taunt
